Presenting... The New Charada!

Welcome to La Charada 2.0La Charada China is a Cuban tradition based in the lottery play of the Cuban provinces. From what i've figured out, and please educate me if i'm wrong - Numbers runners, in order to attract more folks into playing the lottery or "los numeritos" came up with a 'sort of' dream interpretation chart where objects, situations, people and animals had numerical assignment. The Number 1 is represented by a horse, so if one dreamt of a horse, one played that number in the lotto. The number 4 is represented by a Cat. Nunber 8 is 'corpse' and 10 is 'a large fish'. And so on until you reach 100.

There are stops on the way for Betrayal, (# 98) and Luxury Car (# 79) even New York ( #87) makes an appearance. In the spirit of gen ñ Network - our brand new Latin Thing, to paraphrase the Fania All-Stars, we present La Charada 2.0 - a new millennium charada. We need your help to add to our list and email it in. We’re just getting started. We'll mention everyone with additional entries that we use by name and we'll give away a genuine generation ñ prize - to be announced next week - to one random winner from all the entries.

It's impossible to have a blog about "Latino/Hispanic" stuff, it's too varied and vast. But here's one about what's hip, here, and happening, but even then, it only covers a bit'o stuff. The market is just too big and it's no monolith. Here's to Love.
